<br />available to avoid or further reduce the severity of this potentially significant cumulative
<br />impact, it remains significant and unavoidable. The City Council hereby finds, however,
<br />that there are specific economic, environmental, social, legal, technological and
<br />other considerations that make infeasible the potential mitigation measures described in the
<br />EIR to mitigate the effect of Impact NO -7, and that development of the Project will provide
<br />specific economic, environmental, social, legal, technological and other benefits that will
<br />outweigh the significant adverse effects of Impact NO -7, as set forth in the Statement of
<br />Overriding Considerations below. This finding is based on the entire record of proceedings
<br />for the Project, including but not limited to the discussion and analysis set forth on pages
<br />4.10-21 through 4.10-22 of the DEIR, which includes a full statement of the impact and is
<br />hereby incorporated herein in its entirety.
<br />16. Transportation and Traffic Impacts TT -1 and TT -7: Implementation of the Project
<br />would cause or significantly contribute to impacts at the following intersections listed in Table
<br />4.13-8 on page 4.13-27 of the DEIR: Intersection 92, Intersection 44, Intersection #6,
<br />Intersection #7, and Intersection #12.
<br />Mitigation Measures. Mitigation Measures TT -1 A, TT -1 B, and
<br />TT -1C will be implemented for the Project as provided in the MMRP.
<br />Findings Regarding Impacts TT -1 and TT -7. The City Council hereby finds
<br />that incorporating the requirements of Mitigation Measure TT -1B into the Project would
<br />substantially lessen the severity of Impacts TT -1 and TT -7 with respect to Intersection 412,
<br />such that these potential impacts would be less than significant, because this mitigation
<br />measure requires the Project to install a traffic signal at Intersection #12 which will
<br />maintain an acceptable level of service at this intersection.
<br />The City Council further finds that incorporating the requirements of Mitigation
<br />Measures TT -1A, TT -113, and TT -1C would substantially lessen the severity of Impacts
<br />TT -I and TT -7 with respect to Intersections #2, #4, #6, and #7, such that these potential
<br />impacts would be less than significant, because these measures require the Project to (a)
<br />contribute the Project's fair share to the cost of specific improvements at Intersections #2,
<br />#4, #6, and #7, and (b) make specific infrastructure improvements relating to the operation
<br />of Intersection #6, and completion of all of the contemplated improvements would ensure
<br />that operations at all of these intersections would remain within acceptable levels of
<br />services. However, actual installation of the improvements to be funded by Mitigation
<br />Measure TT -1 is within the jurisdiction of another public agency, the California
<br />Department of Transportation (Caltrans), and consequently, the City cannot ensure that all
<br />of the necessary improvements will be installed in a timely manner. Because the City
<br />cannot guarantee the timely completion of all the improvements required by Mitigation
<br />Measures TT -1A, TT -1 B, and TT -1 C, and because there are no other feasible mitigation
<br />measures available to avoid or substantially lessen the severity of Impacts TT -1 and TT -7,
<br />these impacts remains significant and unavoidable with respect to Intersections #2, #4,
<br />#6, and #7. The City Council further finds, however, that development of the Project will
<br />provide specific economic, environmental, social, legal, technological and other benefits
<br />that will outweigh the significant adverse effects of Impacts TT -1 and TT -7, as set forth in
<br />the Statement of Overriding Considerations below. These findings are based on the entire
